Simulation of Communication Systems: Modeling, Methodology, and Techniques, 2/e (Hardcover)

Since the first edition of this book was published seven years ago, the field of modeling and simulation of communication systems has grown and matured in many ways, and the use of simulation as a day-to-day tool is now even more common practice. With the current interest in digital mobile communications, a primary area of application of modeling and simulation is now in wireless systems of a different flavor from the `traditional' ones.

This second edition represents a substantial revision of the first, partly to accommodate the new applications that have arisen. New chapters include material on modeling and simulation of nonlinear systems, with a complementary section on related measurement techniques, channel modeling and three new case studies; a consolidated set of problems is provided at the end of the book

自從本書第一版出版七年前以來，通信系統建模和模擬領域在許多方面都有了成長和成熟，模擬作為日常工具的使用現在更加普遍。隨著對數字移動通信的當前關注，建模和模擬的主要應用領域現在是不同風格的無線系統，與“傳統”系統不同。

這第二版對第一版進行了大幅修訂，部分是為了適應出現的新應用。新的章節包括關於非線性系統的建模和模擬，以及相關測量技術、信道建模和三個新的案例研究；書末提供了一套整合的問題。
